Almost a hundred thousand people were killed and half a million homes destroyed as a result of an
earthquake in Tokyo in 1923. The earthquake began a minute before the noon when the inhabitants of
Tokyo were cooking their midday meals. Thousands of stoves were overturned as soon as the earth began
to shake. As a result, small fires broke out everywhere and quickly spread. The fire engines were
prevented from going to help because many of the roads had cracked open. It was impossible to use
firefighting equipment as most of the water pipes had burst. Consequently, over ninety percent of the
damage caused by fire rather than by the collapse of the buildings.
